Glenn Greenwald: NSA Can Store A Billion Cell Phone Calls Every Day

Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald says he has another big scoop about the National Security Agency's surveillance practices up his sleeve.

Speaking over Skype to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, Greenwald claimed that the NSA has the ability to store one billion phone calls each day.

Greenwald's reporting earlier this month sparked the scandal over NSA surveillance practices that is currently plaguing the Obama administration. The stories were based on classified documents leaked to him by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, and Greenwald indicated Friday night that he's sitting on several more -- one of which he decided to talk about even though his story on it hasn't been public.

The paper has made huge waves, of course, with its series of explosive stories about the NSA's highly classified surveillance programs. Though it has

always maintained an American presence, its visibility has skyrocketed in the wake of the scoops.

UK secretly tapping fibre-optic cables for data

Uk serectly tapping fiber optics cable 

LONDON: UK's spy agencies gained secret access to fibre-optic cables carrying global communications and gathered data larger than the US, a media report said on Saturday, quoting documents leaked by American whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The Guardian newspaper said the revelations were based on leaked documents from the GCHQ - the UK's electronic eavesdropping agency. 


The information, including phone calls, Facebook posts, emails, Internet histories, was stored for up to 30 days to be sifted and analysed, the paper alleged. 
The GCHQ has started processing vast amounts of personal information and is sharing it with its US partner the National Security Agency (NSA), it said.

Facebook Bug Exposed Email Addresses, Phone Numbers Of 6 Million Users

On Friday, Facebook admitted that a bug made the private contact information -- either email addresses or phone numbers -- of 6 million users accidentally accessible to Facebookers who downloaded their account histories onto their own computers. Compared to Facebook's over 1 billion total members, 6 million isn't much. But any security flaw has the potential to frighten people away from a website.

A bug allowed "some of a person’s contact information (email or phone number) to be accessed by people who either had some contact information about that person or some connection to them," Facebook wrotein a note on its security page. Using the network's "Download Your Information" tool, some Facebook members were inadvertently sent the phone numbers or email address of Facebook friends that were otherwise private. Facebook assured users that the bug was fixed within a day, and that there is no evidence that the information was used maliciously.

Fund Grows For KYAnonymous, Who Helped Expose Steubenville Rapists

Deric Lostutter, who may face hacking charges after helping expose details in the Steubenville rape case, is getting a hand from supporters. As of Tuesday morning, his legal defense fund had collected more than $49,000.

"There is nothing that we would like more than the government to come to its senses and decide not to charge Deric and for us to be able to return all the funds to the wonderful people who have showed him support," his attorney, Jason Flores-Williams of the Whistleblower Defense League, told The Huffington Post on Monday. "Unfortunately, our indications are that that isn't going to happen, so we are preparing for a vigorous fight."

Flores-Williams said the government has indicated that it will indict Lostutter, 26, on alleged felony violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Anonymous Hackers Bring Down Sony Websites

If Sony’s ongoing legal offensive against those who reverse engineer its products was intended to protect the company from hackers, it seems to have had the opposite effect. On Monday, as of 1pm Eastern time, Sony.com and Sony’s Playstation.com were both suffering intermittent downtime as a result of denial of service attacks launched by the hacker group Anonymous.

Google Hits Back At U.S. Snooping | ET | NSA secret data gathering 'transparent': Obama

Google Thinks It's Its First Amendment Right To Publish Info On FISA Requests

Google is taking its fight for transparency and image rehabilitation one step further in the wake of the revelation that the government is collecting people's digital data in a sweeping program called PRISM.

The Washington Post reported late Tuesday that Google is preparing to challenge a clandestine court's long-standing gag order over publishing the number of data requests the National Security Agency makes to collect emails, photos and other files people send over the Internet.

Though Google has published transparency reports since 2009, the company has long thought the current level of transparency doesn't go far enough. Earlier this year, Google won the right to tell the public the number of times it was sent "national security letters," or the federal requests to look at Americans' "metadata" (like who emailed whom) but not the files themselves (what the email said).

Under pressure, the federal government last week gave major Internet companies permission to publish the numbers of requests authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to gather online correspondence, but only if that data was coupled with other requests made by local authorities. At the time, Google sent a letter to the FBI and Attorney General Eric Holder asking for permission to disclose more.

The U.S. Workforce Today Are Less Educated & Here Is Why~ Cause The Math Is Really Hard

People Joining The U.S. Workforce Today Are Less Educated Than Those Leaving It

Things are looking grim for young Americans starting work.

According to a new report on the state of US education from the Council on Foreign Relations, Americans going into the labor force today are less educated than those retiring from it. This phenomenon is unique among developed countries. For 55- to 64-year-olds, the US has the highest percentage of high-school graduates and the third-highest percentage of college graduates; in people aged 25 to 34, the country is 10th and 13th respectively.

At its current pace, the US will need to add a little more than 200,000 jobs a month in order to close the “jobs gap” by 2020, according to the Hamilton Project. But as baby boomers (those born in the generation after World War II) continue to leave the workforce, companies are having trouble finding skilled workers to replace them.
